Damaged diaphram with a 1cm hiatle hernia. sometimes when i stand or do simple tasks i feel a little short of breath, but not when exercising hard why?

What type of damage: Traumatic injuries of diaphragm invariably require surgical repair, so is para esophageal hernia where gastro-esophageal junction stays below d. But stomach moves into chest . Speak to your doctor what exactly is your problem , your symptoms may be related.
